Letters Patent No. 104,98-9 dated July 5, 1870.

IMPROVED METHOD OQE HANGING- WINDOW-SHADES.

The Schedule referred to in these4 LettereA Patent and making parl: ofthe dame.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HIRAM W. OLNEY, of Pittsburg,- in the count-y ofAllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulimproved Mode of Hanging lWindow-Shades; andI do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact vdescription thereof', sueient toenable those skilled inthe ait to which my invention appertains to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing makingpart of this specification. in

rollers are attached to the cornice, and the Ausual arrangement of thecord may be adopted; 1 prefer, however, to wind the cord around one endof the roller, as shown in fig. 1, so that, on pulling the cord, theroller is revolved and the shade rolled up, and' m'ce 'lesa- To thetopof the cornice v A are attached two or more rings, B, at positionscorresponding with hooks,

O, driren or screwed into the window-frame, so that the c ornice, withthe shade and fixtures attached, can

`be put in place by simply hanging the rings on the hooks.

The hooks may be inserted either in the face or in the lower side of thetop portion of the frame. 4

My improvement facilitates the removal and replacing of curtains, andsaves the trouble and annoyance of putting up and taking down fixtures,the hooks C and one or more knobs D for the cord being the only fixturesrequired to be attachedto the window-frame.

The cornice A also protects the shade and fixtures from dust to a 'greatextent.

I am aware that. brackets and moldings have been attached towindow-frames by means of hooks and rings, and thereforeI do not claim,broadly, the attachment of the cornice by means of the hooks and rings;but Y What I claim as new, and-desire to secure'by Letters Patent, isvThe cornice A, attached to the window-easing bythe rings B and hooks O,and having the curtain-roller attached to the inside of the cornice,when constructed vand arranged as herein shown and described, for thepurpose specified. v i V W. OLNEY.
